As a Wrangler driver, I'm glad to see Broncos out and about. The competition between the two manufacturers can only keep both vehicles on the path to improvements. I read posts on the Wrangler forums slagging on the new Broncos, but that won't be me.

I was in Moab late October, and I'll just say this: If you get a chance to go, take it. It'll be memories for your lifetime.

Those 33s fill out the wheel wells nicely.

My stepdaughter just received her Badlands. Ordered in January.

Ran into a Off Roadeo group in Moab on the Dome Plateau trail. First Broncos I've seen in the wild.

Two weeks ago in Moab, I ran into a Bronco Off Roadeo group on Dome Plateau trail. First time I'd seen Broncos in the wild. Good group of folks and they were enjoying the outing. I couldn't wait for 12 - 18 months for a Bronco. I got impatient and got a Wrangler. They still talked to me.

Bronco Burgundy = Wrangler Snazzberry I like it.

Show me your Bronco. :cool:

At the body shop... "Right side could use some touch-up paint."

Did some level 5 and 6 trails back in the day with my '86 Toyota pickup. Could have gone more extreme, but was usually alone, so didn't want to chance getting stuck miles from pavement. But I have to say, that little Toyota with 31" tires and open differentials was a very capable off roader.

For at least a couple of months now, I've been very enthusiastic about putting in an order for a Bronco. Went to the dealer on Saturday and they connected with some kid who'd only worked there a couple of weeks and didn't even know the names of his coworkers. He also couldn't work the build and...

I was going back and forth between BB, BD and BL. I've finally figured I'll Squatch a 2.3 2dr BB and add the Mid Pkg. Only thing is, I'm still not decided, because I'm giving serious consideration to a Wrangler Rubicon. But those Squatch 35s look very good and give a nice boost to ground...

1) Drive it to a steakhouse for a good dinner. 2) Smile a lot 3) Give it a good coat of hard wax. 4) Smile some more 5) Call up my buddies with their huge Ford/Dodge/Chevy crew cab 4WDs and say, "Let's take 'em to the desert."

If my wallet can take it: Badlands 2dr, Antimatter Blue Headliner Optional wheels 10spd automatic (I'd prefer the manual, but I'm married) ;) If I can't afford the BL, I'll go for the BD with the same options.

30 years ago I took my '86 Toyota 4WD pickup on the White Rim Trail in Canyonlands Natl Park. No rock crawling, but some hairpin turns with deep drop-offs as you ascend/descend the cliffs along the river. Wouldn't want to try it in a vehicle much larger than that mini-truck.
